   Or you go a decent shop, choose the (hardware) parts that you want and   
   have them installed. (I'm talking about a tower/case, not some laptop).   
   Then you can install the OS you want.

   Extended support for Windows 7 will end on January 14, 2020. Extended   
   support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. I'm using W7 and I'm   
   not a big fan of W10, but I'd know which to choose.   
      
   You can always choose to use Windows 10 in combination with Classic   
   Shell, Start10, StartIsBack or Start Menu 8.

   So you've tried Linux Mint?
